It's no surprise that Nugget & Fang has become a popular series with the way it plays around with the idea of unlikely friendships. We reread the original Nugget & Fang: Friends Forever--or Snack Time? by Tammi Sauer and illustrated by Michael Slack. #picturebooks26

We had our book launch for Ahoy, Mate, Ahoy! Miss Molly Molloy yesterday, and it was like something out of a storybook.
I recently read THE CARVER AND THE QUEEN by Emma Fox, and if you're in the mood for a fairy tale retelling set in Russia with all the high stakes and a good love story, you can't go wrong with this book. Highly recommend! www.owlsnestpublishers.com/store/p43/Th...
